The covers 20 are shown of concave, or zone-shaped cross. section, and provided at their center portions with sockets for receiving the attach-" ing balls 19 of the adjustable su ports- 10,

and said covers are advantageous y formed of sufiicient size to' overlap and seal the rim 'or edge of glasses, orother receptacles, of the largest size toff-beempljoyed with the;

H Fig. 3 Illustrates a slight modification, in which a. pin 21 is rigidly attachedto the slide and terminates in a split resilient ball22 onxvhich the cover receptacle 23 is removably snapped. The cover 23 is'shown rovi'ded with a plane annular portion 24 ora'ned with a peripheral flange 25' forfitting over-the edge of, a glass; a suitable gasket, snclr: a paper. disk 26, being, clamped between the annular'portion 24 0f the coverandthe glass 27. In this modified constri'ict-iomthe resiliency o'f the spherical concave portion 23 of the cover acts to aut' matically maintain thje cover in close sealin contact Withthe'gl'assI i V the operation of invention, glasses, or other open receptacles of the desired sizes are placed in the rack and the respectiv'e slides 10 adjusted downwardly on their guides 7' andll ocked in position'hy the cams ,1 for" firmly ,maintaining the correspondt ing' cov'ers 20 clamped over the edge's of the glasses, The jcarrier can then be used for ployed, and the universal connection'of said automatically adjust its'elfto variations in and-irregularities in the glasses. Further,

conveniently conveying the receptacles to any desired location,- and the covers independently raised from the several receptacles as desired.

I have illustrated and described preferred and satlsfactory constructions, but changes couldbe made Within the spirit and scope of my invention.

I claim 1. In a sanitary carrier for receptacles, thecombination of a carrying rack, receptacle covers adapted to fit vessels of various sizes, mounted to permit universal movement, and means for resiliently mounting said covers.

2'. In a sanitary carrier for receptacles, the combination of a carrying rack, receptacle covers adapted to fit vessels of various sizes, and mounting means for said covers adapted to'permit adjustment of each cover independently at various heights.
